The End of An Era ...
A recent report indicated that 78% of internet users in 2006 access the internet through high speed connections, up from 54% in 2003. As we continue to get better availability of high speed, we will see that number approach 100% in the coming years.
As a seller of security software, PCSecurityShield has seen a decline of the purchase of backup CD-ROMs from 60+% in 2004 to approximately 30% in 2006 and that number continues to decline. Surely, many people want CDs for comfort but that too is slowly declining as the comfort level of downloading software grows.
So the end of an era nears ... CDs and CD-ROMs will go by the wayside in the coming years and another industry will bite the dust because of internet efficiency. ¶ 9:14 AM
